KHR-1
|
WowRobot KHR-1 is a programmable bipedal humanoid robot introduced in 2004 by a Japanese company Kondo Kagaku. At the time of its introduction it is one of the cheapest (¥126000 or about $1300) programmable bipedal robots. The robot is 34cm high and has 17 degrees of freedom (each joint is powered by individual servomotor). It is capable of a wide range of motions, including quick kung-fu-style fighting moves. However, the robot currently lacks any sensors or remote control.
In 2004 the robot won in the Robo-One Jr category (lightweight robots) in the Robolympics.
